Steam your mile: if you want milk, add some to the pitcher (remember it will increase in volume as it steams)
Turn the dial to "steam": after about 20 seconds, steam should be coming from the wand
Steam the milk: steam the milk until the pitcher is too hot to touch
Turn off the steam: then turn it on for a quick burst of steam to clean the wand
Clean the wand: with a sponge, steaming milk is kinda messy
Pull a shot: see above
Add your milk to your coffee
Enjoy
Wash your cup when your done, please.
